layton howerton
it's a bittersweet legacy you left me to find
everytime that i fall i feel you push from behind
18 years you been gone
18 years you're still around
how can you move me so much
from a hole in the ground
in that small frame house on the bible belt
i didn't know who you were
i never knew how you felt
now i'm painting this picture
and i don't know the truth
did you do what you wanted
or what you had to do
and though your blood courses through my veins
i won't bare your cross cause i share your name
it's not the way we die it's the way that we live
and i can't tell anymore who i need to forgive
18 years
18 years
you'd sit at the table with your seagrams stare
was it love or obligation that kept you there
i tried all your prescriptions for easing my pain
whiskey drugs and women and they all feel the same
and though your blood runs through my veins
i won't bare you cross i won't share your shame
it's not the way we die it's the way we live
i can't tell anymore who i want to forgive
18 years
18 years
i still need you old man
